Hi Zlatko! We used the 3494 as primary library in the past. The main reasons for replacing it with a 3584 were capacity and price. Our 3494 was full and the amount of drives in the base frame (two) proofed to be a bottleneck. We could do two things at that time: 1) Buy two more drives and an expansion frame for the 3494 2) Replace a 3494 with a 3584 equipped with 6 drives. Option 2 was the cheapest one! And one side affect was that it almost tripled our total storage capacity. My personal experiences are VERY positive. With the 3494 I experienced a few I/O errors (on almost new tapes) and drives going offline every now ant then (mount/unmount failures, probably because of communication failures between lmcp daemon and the library manager). I haven't had any error whatsoever on the 3584 yet! Kindest regards, Eric van Loon KLM Royal Dutch Airlines

I think it ought to be better if 3494 is primary and 3584 is for copy. Even with 3590B drives 3494 ought to be faster for many types of loads.

It sure is! We do this too and we even use different libraries (a 3584 as primary and a 3494 as copy library). If you want, you can contact me directly, even in Dutch :-) Kindest regards, Eric van Loon KLM Royal Dutch Airlines -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:kurt.beyers@;PANDORA.BE] Sent: Thursday, November 07, 2002 13:54 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: backup primary stgpool to different library Hi, I would like to check the following. We will have two identical libraries connected via SAN to the TSM server. The second library will be in a different room than the TSM server and the first library. I would like to have the primary storage pool on the first library and the copy storage pools on the second library. Is it possible to have a backup of a primary storage pool residing in library A to a copy storage pool residing in library B? I guess it has to be possible as the two libraries are identical but I want to be sure.
